Petrichor [1º intento]
Durante semanas he sentido atascado. Después de regresar de un viaje a Perú, me caí en una rutina cotidiana que dura casi todo el día. Me despierto, desayuno, asisto mis reuniones de trabajo, hago ejercicio, ceno, y me acuesto.
Día, noche, día, noche... la incontenible ritmo del día a veces me hace sentir que estoy volviéndome loco. Los budistas hablen sobre un ciclo de la muerte y la vida, pero ¿qué tal si estoy malgastando la única que tengo?
El progreso imperceptible de mis proyectos, los de idiomas y de la forma física, son obvios en el largo plazo. Pero desde aquí abajo, desde la perspectiva diaria, no puedo verlo. Me gustaría que pueda ver las últimas meses de forma rápida y de tercera persona. Un cortometraje de duración treinta segundos. Quizás entonces podría convencerme que todo esto vale la pena.
Por la mañana llovio. Ese olor fuerte y nostálgico me recordó del pasado. De cierta manera es como viajar en propio cerebro y llevó a cabo mi cortometraje deseado. Quizás estaban correctos los budistas. Si me concentro en el aliento, la rueda gira un poco más lento.

Episodio de Seinfeld no. 1
Anoche mi padrastro y yo cenamos juntos por primera vez desde hace tiempo. Él abrió Netflix en el televisor y ojeó los canales mientras considerábamos que ver. Pronto encontramos la serie de Seinfeld que fue una de las más populares en los años noventa y por la nostalgia elegimos ver unos episodios. En uno de ellos, el personaje Elaine se encuentra con una vieja compañera de la escuela en la calle a quién aborrecía a pesar de fingir serle amigable. Elaine se indignó al notar que esta mujer andaba en la calle sin sostenedor. Ella invitó a Elaine a su fiesta de cumpleaños, a lo cual rechazó afirmando estar demasiada ocupada. Entonces ella le hizo el comentario descuidado de que podía comprarle un regalo de todos modos. Luego, se le ocurrió a Elaine la idea ingenia de comprarle un sostenedor para burlarse de ella, y así lo hizo. Sin embargo, su plan le salió por la culata cuando la mujer apareció en su lugar de trabajo llevando nada más que el sostenedor y una chaqueta para agradecerle. Elaine trabaja en un negocio de diseño y, para colmo, después de que su jefe le observa a la mujer caminando en los pasillos en ropa interior, le acude directamente a Elaine para contarle que se inspiró para la nueva línea de ropa de moda. Le dice a Elaine que quiere que ella imite ese look en sus próximos diseños y que se los entregue a él para el fin de semana. Luego en el episodio, hay un juicio porque la mujer causó que un amigo de Elaine se estrellara su auto por distraerlo mientras conducía. En un momento, le obligan a la mujer a vestirse en el sostenedor para probar que ella fuese la sospechosa que perpetró el supuesto crimen. Sin embargo, no le queda porque lleva camisa y no puede abrocharse. El escenario se refería a un juicio famoso de un ex-jugador de fútbol americano que fue acusado de asesinar a su esposa, pero luego lo absolvieron porque el guante encontrado en la escena de crimen no le quedó.

Trip to the Woods - part II
There was a highway to the west from our path. It cut through the woods and was heading further to the northwest to eventually break through the wall of trees and shrubs and bring that silent but constant hum of the cars that we had always heard from afar to farmlands, other towns, woods, and whatever it passed through and by, and to finally reconnect to the interstate highway - it's beginning and its final destiny. The closer we were to our spot, the further away the highway was, and its hum became more and more unclear.
While I was waiting for my friends, I noticed that on the other bank, the hum had already become indistinguishable from the sound of trees, which gently swayed in the wind. In that wind of dying summer, which foreshadows that wet and chilly season, I thought that walking was a better choice than sitting and getting cold with Clyde, but because I was alone and I had no speed baseline as Scott and Tobias, I must have walked faster than my trip companions that time as well. Then I ought to wait for them even longer.
I couldn't have stood staying put anymore and staring at that vast space between every piece of forest scenery though. Only looking upwards at the canopy let me assure myself that space had its edge, as I was able to see that cold and distant sky, which leaked through the treetops. But looking for any boundaries of forest space around me was more difficult. All those pieces overlapped with each other, making it impossible to tell if the woods even have their edge.
That observation drew me into thinking how lonely I was there. I'd heard dozens of stories about elks being run over. Dozens of times, Scott told me about some opossums that had lived rent-free under his porch. But deep in the woods, I didn't notice any fauna, except for one hooting owl I might have overheard. I intensely stared into the woods but the only thing I saw were hundreds of tree trunks and bushes which seemed to grow tighter and tighter the further they were from me, as if they were hiding some mysterious secret never seen by a human being or a void which shrinks more the closer you are to it.
At that time, I started to feel that I was not surrounded by any matter and that the sterile destiny I found myself in was left by time and life, that I walked into some liminal space between the world and hell, where I would be cursed to stay for eternity. But the matter eventually struck me. It took the form of a cold late summer wind, which gave me shivers and showed me that I was still stuck in the real world. But the thing which made me certain was that Clyde was shouting.
"Hey, there he is," he said. "Ya introverted or something, Thistle? Bro rather stand in the middle of nowhere than talk to us," he added. He was walking first, then there was Tobias, and a few yards further, there was Scott. "You are lucky I didn't start drinking without you, Clyde," I said. "Are ya tripping? Your ass would be so beaten up if you took a slip without us. What do you say about that, Tobi? Would he take an L? said Clyde. He made a quick turn back to Tobias, and without stopping for a second, he started to walk backwards. "Prolly, bro," said Tobias. "Definitely," Clyde corrected him.

Calvin e Hobbes: un lungo bagno
Calvin fa un bagno, accompagnato dal suo amico Hobbes.
"Ho passato venti minuti nell'acqua e guarda le mie dite", dice Calvin.
"Sono tutte piene di rughe!", osserva Hobbes
"E anche le dite dei piedi!", aggiunge Calvin.
"Piuttosto figo, non?", chiede a Hobbes.
"Enorme uvetta rosa trovata in vasca da bagno -- scomparso ragazzo seienne", dichiara Hobbes come se leggesse un titolo di giornale.
"AAIIEE ", urla Calvin, allarmato.

B: Isn't it a bit cold?
A: Really?, Feels perfect to me.

A: True. But I don't like hot weather. Do you prefer hot to cold?
B: Yes!
A: Omg. But there are definitely more people who like hot than people who like cold, right?
B: Yeah, I think so, but people I know, there are more people who say they like cold.
A: You have good friends.
B: Yeah, maybe, haha but you can't judge someone by whether they prefer hot or cold weather.
A: I can. Guys who like hot whether are bad. 'Cause cold areas have less crime. Maybe. Probably. Sigh... Wish I lived in a country that's cold all year round.

B: Do you remember what you ate the morning before yesterday?
A: Chinjaoro-su
B: What's Chinjaoro-su?
A: Well.. How do I describe it...
Chinese-style stir-fry containing thinly sliced green peppers and meat.
B: In what ways in Chinese-style?
A: I guess the sauce is Chinese-style. lol
B: Oh, I wanna try it! What about for lunch?
A: I didn't eat lunch.
B: What about dinner then?
A: Yellowtail sashimi.
Have you ever eaten yellowtail sashimi?
B: No.
Is it good?
A: It's good!
B: Which is better, tuna or yellowtail?
A: Hmmm, I never thought about that. lol
I think I eat tuna more often.
There are many different kinds of tuna.
B: What do you mean?
A: When I want something light, I eat the akami (red meat), usually the chutoro (medium fatty tuna), and when I want something rich, I eat the otoro (fatty tuna).
B: I see. Is the yellowtail fatty?
A: Yeah, it's fatty. But to be honest, sashimi is the same if you put soy sauce on it. Soy sauce is the best. lol
B: No way lol. The fish will get mad at you.
A: You're right, I take it back. I'm sorry, fish. Well, have you ever had sashimi?
B: Yes, tuna and hamachi
A: Oh, you've also had hamachi !
Buri and hamachi are the same fish. In Japan, we call this kind of fish "shusse-uo".
B: "Shusse-uo"?
A: "Shusse" means promotion, and the name of the fish changes as it grows. Just like a person's position in a company changes as he or she grows.
B: I see.
A: Like dolphins and whales, right?
B: Isn't this different from that?
Dolphins and whales are name based on their size rather than their growth periods.
A: Oh, that's right! They are different!
B: Yeah.
Anyway, what did you eat yesterday?
A: Pasta with meat sauce for breakfast, croissants for lunch, and soba stew, fried potatoes, and "餃子" for dinner.
B: What's "餃子"?
A: Dumplings
B: Ah, Gyoza! It's also called potstickers, but maybe only in America. Also, what's soba stew?
A: Well... as a dish, it's kind of hard to explain. I make my soba stew by adding chicken bouillon powder, bonito flakes, and soy sauce to hot water. After that, I put soba in the there and that's it. It takes only five minutes in my case. The same is true for everything; some people make it easy like me, and of course, some people stick to cooking traditionally. The way the broth is made varies depending on the region and family though.
B: Yeah, I know.
Anyways, you traveled to many countries yesterday, huh? lol
A: Yeah, I went to Italy, France, China, and then back to Japan. lol
Anyways, why did you ask me what I ate?
B: Remembering what you ate is good training for your brain. It said so on TV.
A: Ah, so you exercised my brain for me? Thank you. lol
Then I'll exercise your brain too.
What did you eat the day before yesterday?

A: For breakfast on the 30th, I bought a premade butter chicken curry from a convenience store and dipped bread in it.
B: Sounds so delicious!
A: It was soooo good!
Even convenience store food can't be beaten with these days, right?
B: Exactly. What did you have for lunch?
A: I skipped lunch, and there is a seafood place about a 30-minute drive from my house, so for dinner I bought oysters there and ate them in a pot with tofu and shiitake.
B: Nice!
A: Can you eat oysters?
B: Sure! Many Americans eat oysters!
A: Wow, I didn't know that!
I thought that they don't like that kind of grotesque-looking stuff.
B: Not at all! Of course, there are some people who don't like them.
A: Yeah, it's true.
B: What did you eat for breakfast on the first?
A: I didn't eat breakfast. I had "somen" and pork buns for lunch.
B: What's "somen"?
A: "Somen" is a kind of Japanese noodle made from wheat flour.
B: How's it different from udon?
A: The thickness is different.
I think if the diameter is less than 1.3mm, it's called "somen". If it's between 1.3 and 1.7mm, it's called "hiyamugi", and if it is more than 1.7mm, it's called "udon".
B: What's the difference between ramen and udon noodles?
A: I think the water used is different. Udon is made with water, while ramen is made by mixing an alkaline solution called kansui with flour.
B: What about soba?
A: Soba is made from buckwheat flour, so I think it's a different thing.
I'm not sure if that's correct though, since I don't know much about it.
B: So there's a lot of different kinds of noodle in Japan.
A: Yeah. You get noodles that are kneaded into something, udon dishes with only a single long noodle in it, and so on.
B: Interesting.
I wanna go on a noodle tour, myself.
A: That's a good idea.
But you can't eat that much. lol
B: I will leave some of it lol.
A: That's not good. lol
That's unethical. lol
B: What did you have for dinner?
A: Meat and eggs stewed with soy sauce and vinegar, and komochi shishamo.
B: What is "komochi shishamo"?
A: I don't know how to say it in English.
"Spirinchus lanceolatus" with roe.?
B: Well, I don't know much about fish names. lol!
A: I think "with roe" is correct for "komochi", but I don't know how to say "shishamo"... "Willow leaf fish"? "Smelt"?
I don't know how to say it in English either. Anyway, "shishamo" is "shishamo". LOL!
B: "Shishamo". I'll keep that in mind. LOL.
How do you eat it?
A: Most people eat it grilled.
B: Do some people eat it as sashimi?
A: Yes, but I've never had it.
B: "Shishamo with roe" sounds like "oyakodon".
A: Why? Oh,I see! lol
Come to think of it, you are right.
B: Japanese people must really like to eat the whole family! lol
A: Yeah, that's right. lol
Alas... that's sad, but it's really delicious to eat family. 🤦
B: You must be a cruel race! lol
A: You don't like to eat family?
B: I don't know, I've never had it. lol
It's like love in excess. lol
Like you love the family so much that you eat them. lol
A: Sounds like something that would happen in a movie if they were human beings instead of fish.
B: Haha. Right. There might have been a movie like that. haha
B: Yes, for sho. We're talking about fish, though.
A: Well, either way, we should be grateful, whether we eat fish or humans.
B: Yes, that's true.

Dream Destination
If I could, I'd like to see the northern lights in Norway or Alaska or something. The problem is I'm very sensitive to snow and very low temperatures. It would be a sight to behold though. The aurora videos alone make them seem like magic so I can't imagine what it would be like to seem them in real life.
